MedCruise members, that represent more than 100 ports in the Mediterranean, Black Sea, Red Sea and near Atlantic, as well as its associate members, endorse Mercy Ships in a decision that intends to bring awareness to its mission and efforts and offering visibility in the cruise port sector.
Mercy Ships relies almost entirely on volunteer crew to operate its 16,000gt Africa Mercy floating hospital. These volunteers spend anything from a month to a lifetime using their skills to help those who are less fortunate.
Thanos Pallis, secretary general of MedCruise said, 'Cruise ports in the Med and adjoining seas hope that this endorsement with will help Mercy Ships to recruit more volunteers and continue its most valuable work.'
'We are delighted MedCruise has chosen to help us spread the word, as we look for more volunteers, donors and corporate partners to help us touch the lives of those who without us have no hope,' Mercy Ships representative Ricardo Menzies said.
